I had a terrific 3 night stay. I requested a room that did not have a connecting door. My room was so quiet. Double pane windows took care of any traffic noise from Front Street. My last stay at the Dorchester was 15 years ago. It has been very nicely renovated. Very friendly and helpful staff!

Overall was a great stay. Beds were super comfortable. Pillows were great. Room was super clean. Rooms were very small but not a huge deal for what we needed the room for.

The room was clean and comfortable. It was too warm at night, and we didn't know where the thermostat was to turn down the heat, but other than that it was good.
